Meghan Clarke is a Scottish artist based in Rotterdam (NL). She works between textiles, text, sound and performance. Her work is concerned with collecting, occupying and rearranging time. Engaging in slow and meticulous processes of undoing and reordering she creates intricate tapestries from found and foraged materials - textiles, text, a cardboard box, a fragment of sound. Her repetitive processes are a subtle act of defiance, a form of non-productive productivity that elongates the in-between moments, creating time for lingering and uncertainty. Her current research explores the connections between rhythm, repetition and textile work. Meghan received a BA Textile Design from the Glasgow School of Art. In 2020 she graduated from MA Contextual Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, where she received the Gijs Bakker award for her graduation project This Work of Body / This Body of Work. She is a textile instructor at WdKA, hosts a monthly radio show with Ceola Tunstall Behrens on RadioWORM, and is a host at Shimmer in Rotterdam Zuid.
